[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Tacos de Birria is a traditional Mexican beef stew (consumé), slow-cooked with incredible aromas and punching taste. The addictive sweet, sour, slightly spicy, and utterly savory meat is cooked until it falls apart and is ready to be stuffed between a fresh tortilla. Tortillas are dipped generously into the stewed broth and fried on a flat grill. It is layered with sizzling Oaxaca cheese and shredded meat. The dish is generally made with goat meat, but can easily be made with beef. Authentically served white onion and cilantro, The Remingtons dressed theirs up with pickled red onions, slaw, cilantro, homemade guacamole, and a touch of lime. (Serves 30 – 35 tacos). Watch The Remingtons make the recipe on Episode 2 of The Great American Cookoff.

  8. Slow cook on low for 8 – 10 hours or high for 4 – 6 hours.
